The chocolate chips in my life: crafts, grandkids, friends, family, scrapbooking, reading, stamping, Red Hats, thrifting, and I even get on my soapbox on occasion.

Worst Foot Forward

Or maybe I should say shoe.......I LOVE my Birkenstock's and can walk in them all day, every day. I don't care what Stacey & Clinton would say, in fact I wouldn't bring mine along for my makevoer.........*sigh*....I don't think I'll have to worry about that, I only dress mildly boring not horribly bad. I have pruchased several pairs of Birki's from QVC (the prices are reasonable and we don't have a store closeby) and didn't realize there was a difference between the different Birkenstock brands (ie: Beta, Birki's, etc). Ive had this pair for maybe 5 years and look how cracked they are :-( I am not sure if it is the 'Birko-Flor upper', this is the Birki's brand. I own several pairs but this is the only one that has such terrible looking straps. I have much older Papillo's and Betula's that are not cracked. My other Birki's are OK, but newer. I hope this pair is just a 'freak' accident.

I have never owned a pair of Birkenstocks but I have always heard they were super comfy. I love my Ugg's the way you love your Birki's, I wear them year round (they are slippers and I love them when the air conditioner is on)

About Me

I am a grandma to 9 (& lovin' it)!!! In 2014/2015 I battled breast cancer and won! It has changed my outlook on life. Sometimes I forget that I am over 60 (until I look in the mirror or when I have one of those 'my aching body' days). I have many interests and look forward to the time when I can try more. Currently I enjoy stamping, scrapbooking, reading, flea markets/thrift stores, sunshine, my friends in the Royal Purple Belles (Red Hat society group), and some peace & quiet every now and then.
